The converter is very streetable. I have a Vig 3200, which is very tight imo. I drove a car with the 3600 and the difference in looseness is very minor. With 3.73's it is a great street combo.

This is a good convertor. I ran 11.49 with the 3200, went to nitrous and bumped up the converor to 3600, and got it to 10.68, with a 60 of 1.44. With the 3200, my best 60 was 1.50, on motor.

At 3600 now, it actually seems tighter than with the 3200. I wonder if it is because I told Jack I was going to spray the car? This is a very livable convertor for the street. That's why I got it in the first place. If I wanted something that was more along the lines of a all out race car, then I would try a Yank.

If I could find someone with a Yank laying aroud, maybe I'll do some experimenting this summer.

Very impressive. i can not wait till my convertor gets here. I would love to run a 12.5x or better with stock internals and the Vig3600. I just got Predator and programmed the shift points and rev limiter today,now am drooling over the thought of how well things (could) go with the convertor along with programming. Thanks for posting your times!!! <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Blacksunshine and Raughammer were one of the reasons I went vig.. they both put down flat out awesome times with the VIG!

get some headers and im beting with a little weight out you will have a 11.7-9 car with a awesome 60!

I went 1.58 with that on nittos and 3.23's <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

I have a quick question for the guys running the Vig 3200 and 3600, are you manually locking the converter when you are at the track? My instruction manual for my 3200 says to lock it in the top of 2nd gear and let it stay that way thru drive. Is anyone doing this?
Thanks

I havent even tried locking it up in high gear. I had a friend try that onetime and i think he had to get a new tranny from it because he did something wrong.

vig3600 has a 2.3x-2.4 STR

BTW.. the trans that I'm installing the 3200 vig in is a FLP level IV, so I think it can handle the added stress. Is it bad for the TC to lock it in second and drive during WOT?

You have to decide before oyu get a converter, if you want a kicka@@ NA car, or a happy medium car on spray. VIG3200 would be better for spray since the 3600 flashed so high you have little time to spray and benefit from it. It can be sprayed on, but its no where near the best choice for juice.

hope this helps a little
